Matthiessen Mountain Madness

May 6th at Matthiessen State Park Vermilion River Area in Oglesby, IL

Matthiessen is the second stop of the Illinois Homegrown Race Series

Join us as we host our 4th mountain bike race in the Illinois Valley. Matthiessen State Park is a surprisingly hilly and fast course that will provide a great challenge for racers of all abilities with good areas for spectator viewing all in a cozy state park atmosphere.
Racers will find Matthiessen to be one of the most promising and varied riding areas in the state; fast flowy single-track punctuated with challenging technical sections, big climbs and open prairie will truly test a racer's mettle.
